Ask Stan made it three wins from his last five races when taking the Swindon Maiden over 509 metres last night.

Ben McBride’s runner, who has actually won five of his last nine at the track and improved from A3 to top grade, was soon clear over the extended trip and came home almost two lengths clear of Double Blaze in 30.67sec (-30).

Paul Foster’s Snaffi Yank, an October 11 son of Kinloch Brae, was soon clear in the Swindon Stayers over 685 metres to register a three lengths victory over Quentin Bevan’s La May Par in 42.74sec (-50).
